Having spent all but 3 months of my grade school years in the beautiful state of Colorado (5.5 year long love affair with the Rockies and their lakes and rivers), this story really affected me. I don't doubt the "PEA"-brains did it on purpose, but I'm wondering if in addition to the reason cited by the geologist quoted in this article, the other motive was to start a gradual spread across the country of similar incidents, making water so scarce that only the Feds can dole it out----meaning even more control over ours lives and welfare. (One of the ironies in this whole debacle is the name of the river, "Animas." The only thing that kind of bilge can animate is death.)
And of course, the fallout from this also affects the farmers and ranchers. All these calamities the past years (including the millions of chickens that had to be put down, the tomato disaster, etc.) make it really hard not to see a pattern, a DELIBERATE pattern with the ultimate aim of causing economic and political chaos and poverty, which will then eventuate in total Statism.
